Features: This book focuses on common electronic control devices in modern cars, covering topics such as fuel injection engines, automatic transmissions, anti-lock braking systems, cruise control systems, airbags, electronic automatic suspension systems, and power steering systems. It briefly introduces their structural features while emphasizing the rapid troubleshooting methods for various electronic control device failures. The book emphasizes that understanding the structural principles is essential to mastering the quick repair methods for electronic control device failures. It aims to help readers better grasp the thinking and methods of troubleshooting automotive electronic control device failures, enabling them to repair all types of car electronic control devices. This book is suitable for workers and technicians engaged in the maintenance of car electronic control devices. (Preface)
It is very important for drivers to understand their responsibilities. Drivers must not only comply with the legally required periodic inspections but also develop the habit of conducting regular safety checks on their vehicles. Once a driver sits in the driver's seat, they become the vehicle's controller. If they lack even basic mechanical knowledge, accidents are easily prone, and they may become a menace to traffic order. Given this, drivers must strengthen their understanding of automotive mechanical knowledge and always keep the concept of safe driving in mind.
Now, with the improvement of living standards, the era has arrived where even ordinary people can "afford" to own a car, and cars have become everyday means of transportation. Although modern automotive manufacturing technology and performance are "ever-evolving," the failure rate has been significantly reduced. However, no matter how advanced, cars are still mechanical devices that can "move," and no one can guarantee they will never malfunction. Perhaps some simple checks before driving can reduce trouble on the road, but we still often hear about tragic accidents caused by a lack of understanding of automotive principles.
The word "accident" can be summed up in one sentence: from complex to simple, countless examples can be cited. When a car's "emergency" turns it into a "killing instrument," it can be heartbreaking. We don't know when or where a car's failure will occur. As a car driver, in addition to knowing basic driving skills, the author hopes drivers can perform some simple maintenance and repairs themselves. For example, if a tire suddenly blows out or the car "breaks down" due to mechanical failure on the road, and the driver cannot change a tire or check the engine oil and fan belt themselves, it can be extremely frustrating. If drivers develop the habit of learning some minimum vehicle maintenance and repair during their daily routine, they can maintain the car's excellent performance and avoid sudden malfunctions, truly enjoying the endless joy of driving.
The "Automotive Skills Q&A Series" consists of 5 volumes, each presenting common automotive technical conditions and the causes of failures in the form of questions (Question) and answers (Answer). Combined with illustrations, it organizes a series of handling principles and emergency repair methods, testing methods, etc., suitable for various situations. The series is not just about describing repair methods but also carefully guides readers from basic mechanical knowledge to gradually understanding automotive principles. Considering the different needs of readers, we have planned 5 practical books: one on electronic injection engines, one on computer-controlled devices, one on automotive electrical circuits, one on entire vehicles, and one on quick troubleshooting and repairs during driving. If these books help you gain a deeper understanding of various automotive issues and enable you to more satisfactorily handle your beloved car, it will be our honor!
